After finishing my second article for The Examiner.com on relationships and how they affect every aspect of our lives, I realize how my relationship with money has actually distracted me from focusing on what I really desire in life.

Back in August, I received the devastating news that I was being laid off from my job as a contributing writer for LoveToKnow. It turns out that many loyal writers and editors for this site were let go, without any kind of warning or the courtesy of a "heads up." This has resulted in a loss of about one third of my income. Not only am I unable to make my car payment, any extra spending money is gone as well.

It's really hard not to focus on your lack of money when you can't make your bills for the month. This whole recession seems like a vicious cycle, with all the negative news in the media about unemployment and how the economy continues to suffer. With so many minds focusing on these issues, the Law of Attraction is responding, and the universe keeps giving us more of the same.

Okay, it's time to regroup. I need to be okay with where I'm at. Everything is fine and I truly appreciate the wonderful job that has come to replace the one that I lost. There is so much abundance in the universe and there is plenty for everyone.

I am especially thankful that I was accepted as a Featured Contributor for Yahoo's Associated Content and that I am now the Las Vegas Freethought Examiner at Examiner.com. I will be able to have creative control over the topics I write about here and I can focus on spiritual and self discovery articles. This will help me stay focused on being a deliberate creator.

I love that I have found my passion as a writer and that I have the opportunity to expand my career with great opportunities like these.
